If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to
-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14
-8 - 10x + 34 = -14
-10x = -40
x = 4
If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have
-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14
-8 + 10x - 34 = -14
10x = 28
x = 2.8
Answer: 20 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the weight of each flower arrangement (each one weighs 6 2/3 pounds) and the total number of flower arrangaments Isabelle ordered (3 flower arrangements).
To make the calculus easier, we can rewrite the mixed number 6 2/3 as a decimal number:
Divide the numerator 2 by the denominator 3 and add the result to the whole number 6:

If 1 arrangement weighs 6.666 pounds, the total weigth of 3 arrangements can be calculated by multiplying 6.666 pounds by 3:
